Quick Facts Owner, President ...

Due to COVID-19 cross-border restrictions imposed by the Canadian government, Toronto FC, along with the two other Canadian MLS teams (CF Montréal and Vancouver Whitecaps FC), played in the United States at the beginning of the season while also sharing stadiums with other American MLS teams. From April 17 until July 16, Toronto FC played home matches at Orlando City SC's Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida.[2][1] On July 14, MLS announced that Toronto FC were allowed to play two home matches on July 17 and 21, although they continued to work with the Canadian Government regarding plans on future home matches.[3][4]

Outside of the MLS season, Toronto finished as the runners-up of the 2021 Canadian Championship after losing the final to rivals CF Montréal 1–0. They also reached the quarter-finals of the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League.

Notes

  1. As a result of COVID-19 cross-border restrictions imposed by the Canadian government, Toronto FC is temporarily playing in home matches at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Florida.[1]
  2. Lawrence holds a U.S. Green Card, so he counts as a domestic player for MLS purposes.[6]
